| Following
the 3-1 defeat in Cumbria Boro welcomed Barrow and their
magnificent vocal support to Priory Lane for this FA Cup
tie . Danny Brown, signed just the day before, made his
Boro debut, partnering Matt Smart in central midfield who
also skippered the side.
Boro started brightly and chances for Andy Atkin and Brown
were all foiled by a combination of Alan Martin in the visitors
goal and the frame itself before the clock registered 3
minutes. Jay Lovett even got in on the act with a 35 hyard
effort from right-back again striking the crossbar. Boro
were playing some excellent football, much of it being built
from the back, Brown breaking up the Barrow play but also
distributing the ball effectively. One such move involving
ended with Atkin nodding down a Pat Harding cross just beyong
strike partner Allan Tait. Harding struck over the bar from
distance on 28 minutes before Barrow had their best chance
of the half. Striker Richard Brodie found himself with a
1-on-1 with Lee Hook and many thought that despite their
dominance Boro were about to fall behind. The front-man
howere failed to beat Hook, the Boro keeper blocking the
drive, and as the rebound fell to a Barrow player supporting
Brodie, the visitors composure failed and the shot was wide
of the left-hand post. As the half drew to an end both sides
had chances to score. Harding's shot was spilled by Martin
but there was no follow up to finish the move; and Barrow
failed to finish a goal mouth scramble - the score remained
0-0.
With the wind now on their backs the 2nd half was better
for Barrow and carlos Logan whipped in a fine free-kick
that was deflected inches wide on 46 minutes. Another goal
mouth scramble finished with David Brown shooting through
a crowd direct at Hook. The woodwork came to Boro's aid
on 62 minutes as Brodie's flick header struck the bar before
'The Sports' began to regain ascendancy. Matt Crabb's cross-shot
required Martin to punch clear and a fabulous through ball
from Darren Baker allowed Tait to strike; the shot on target
deflected for a corner. Matt Crabb tested Martin and again
the keeper spilled; Matt's younger brother Nathan also tried
his luck but his curling shot was wide before both sides
worked half-chances; the scores remaing level as Mr. Creighton
blew for full-time.
Both sets of fans departed Priory Lane having witnessed
an entertaining tie played in a fantastic atmosphere. In
times past the fans would await the draw in the bar eager
for their name to be 'pulled from the hat'. This season
most witness the draw in the comfort of the living room
- however the game was disected as fans of both sides mixed
in the Priory lane clubhouse; Boro fans no dougt working
out the logistics of a midweek trip to Holker Street.
